Upon hearing Lachlan’s words, Sigmund Wynter and several elders of the Ancient Wynter Family became even more furious.
“What did you say? You are the head of the Wynter family?
What gives you the right?”
An elder questioned coldly.
“Because it was promised to me by Ancestor Garraway and Ancestor Salazar! Because I eliminated the source of misfortune for the Ancient Wynter Family!”
Lachlan’s voice was firm and resolute.
Buzz!
In the next second, a powerful aura and pressure emanated from him, enveloping Sigmund Wynter and the others.
Although Lachlan’s Qi Refinement strength was still at the Mid-stage Hollow Void, the aura and pressure he exuded were comparable to that of a Powerful Fragmented Void.
Pointing at Sigmund Wynter, Lachlan shouted coldly, “You old dog, kneel when you see the head of the family!
Dare to harm the head’s close relatives, kneel and apologize to my Aunt Pandora, or face death!”
As his words fell, Sigmund Wynter’s face twitched with extreme anger, almost exploding with rage.
Even Jerome Wynter and Pandora Wynter broke out in a cold sweat upon hearing this.
They felt that Lachlan, their nephew, was acting so recklessly as if he intended to break the sky.
However, Pandora Wynter felt deeply moved inside.
Seeing Lachlan protect her so fiercely, she felt a sense of comfort and relief, thinking that her concern over the past few days had not been in vain.
But she also feared that Lachlan’s excessive actions might bring trouble upon him. She tugged at Lachlan and advised, “Lachlan, that’s enough! I haven’t suffered much; don’t make things irreparable!”
Hearing this, Lachlan shook his head and said, “Aunt Pandora, I’ve already crippled one of his arms. Do you think even if I let it go, things would be settled?”
Pandora Wynter’s face changed upon hearing this.
Looking at the severed arm lying far away and then at Sigmund Wynter’s face filled with hatred and resentment, she knew things had escalated beyond reconciliation.
Jerome Wynter shook his head, unsure of how to resolve the situation.
Lachlan, however, stood there with an unchanged expression, showing no signs of panic or hesitation.
It was as if he truly were the head of the Ancient Wynter Family.
Swish! Swish!
At this moment, two figures swiftly approached.
Seeing these two figures, Sigmund Wynter’s face lit up with joy.
The elders beside him also seemed to find their backbone and support.
“Ancestors!”
“The two ancestors are here!”
“Lachlan, let’s see how arrogant you can be now!”
In the next second, Ancestor Garraway and Ancestor Salazar landed. They were initially surprised to see Lachlan, seemingly not expecting him to have actually emerged from the Lost Land.
In the next moment, sensing the tense atmosphere and seeing Sigmund Wynter’s severed arm, their expressions changed.
“What happened?”
Ancestor Garraway asked coldly.
“Ancestor, it’s Lachlan! Lachlan wants to kill me!”
Sigmund Wynter pointed at Lachlan with his remaining arm, speaking with a face full of grief and indignation.
The other elders also voiced their accusations.
“Please, ancestors, stand up for the head of our family and for the entire Wynter family!”
“Lachlan is utterly lawless!”
“This is our Wynter family; how can we allow an outsider to act so recklessly?”
“Someone dares to kill our head within our family! This enmity must be avenged!”
“Ancestors, please suppress Lachlan and restore our family’s prestige!”
Hearing these words, Pandora Wynter and Jerome Wynter’s faces changed immediately.
“Ancestors, it’s not Lachlan’s fault. I offended the head of the family first; Lachlan acted impulsively to defend me.
It’s my fault; please don’t be angry with him!
If punishment is needed, let it fall on me!”
Pandora Wynter quickly pleaded for Lachlan, kneeling down as she spoke.
Jerome Wynter glared at Sigmund Wynter and said coldly, “Stop exaggerating. Sigmund Wynter does not represent the entire Wynter family!
Ancestors, this isn’t solely Lachlan’s fault; he’s not an outsider!
Please don’t be biased!
Moreover, Lachlan is a Seed of the Star Path. Even if he’s at fault, we can’t easily harm him!”
To protect Lachlan, Jerome Wynter brought up the Seed of the Star Path, hoping the ancestors would show some apprehension.
In his and Pandora Wynter’s view, Lachlan was definitely not a match for the two Ancient Fragmented Void Ancestors yet.
They feared that in a fit of anger, the ancestors might directly attack Lachlan!
However, at this moment, Ancestor Garraway and Ancestor Salazar exchanged glances and saw a hint of apprehension in each other’s eyes.
Although Lachlan still appeared to be at Mid-stage Hollow Void on the surface,
he gave them an incredibly dangerous feeling.
This feeling hadn’t existed before Lachlan entered the Lost Land.
But now it was unmistakably clear.
They felt they couldn’t see through Lachlan at all; looking at him was like staring into a deep abyss.
Acting rashly against Lachlan?
Impossible!
Even as ancestors, they had to weigh their actions carefully!
“Jerome Wynter, explain what happened in detail! Be truthful!”
Ancestor Garraway’s expression changed several times before he pointed at Jerome Wynter and instructed him as the deputy head of the family.
“Yes!”
Jerome Wynter responded and objectively recounted the events.
During this time, Lachlan helped Pandora Wynter up and shook his head at her, saying, “Aunt Pandora, don’t worry! I’ll be fine.
I believe the ancestors are reasonable and keep their promises!”
A moment later, after Jerome Wynter finished speaking, Ancestor Garraway and Ancestor Salazar frowned deeply.
Sigmund Wynter’s face flickered with emotion as he gritted his teeth and said, “Ancestors, Pandora Wynter disrespected me as her elder and head of the family. Was I wrong to discipline her?
Because of this, Lachlan wanted to kill me and caused me to lose an arm.
If we don’t severely punish him, won’t our Ancient Wynter Family become a target for everyone?”
“Yes, ancestors!”
“Please suppress Lachlan. Even if you don’t kill him, make him pay a similar price!”
“Cripple him!”
“He attacked our head first; we only retaliated! Even the Orderwarden organization can’t say anything about it!”
The elders of the Wynter family spoke with grief and indignation!
